Whispering thread. Final chapter. Atto XXXV
Our normal sense of the person as a lonely island of consciousness, is a dramatic illusion based on theological imagery.
Alan Watts
Once, Shakyamuni Buddha was asked to describe consciousness.
Consciousness is a kind of clear energy

that takes the reflection of all existent phenomena, even though it doesn’t have form or color itself. Ego-consciousness is consciousness but has to be eradicated. From the Buddhist point of view, the Ego is a negative aspect of consciousness that gradually has to be abandoned.
Pure consciousness continues to flow like crystalline water, from life to life. The Ego pollutes the water and could become the dam that keeps us from our journey and must be eradicated. It is the source of all conflit and confusion.
We have to choose the right time to transfer our consciousness; we’re not allowed to do it at the wrong time because that becomes suicide. Not to be confused with the theory of Quantum suicide. There are specific times and scientifically determined signals of impending death
that indicate when it’s appropriate to engage in po-wa; there are detailed explanations of the internal and external signs that arise to show that the end of a life may be near. You should know that within us resides the possibility to change this situation.
Life is an energy force; when it dwindles we can reactivate it through our nervous system. Yogis have methods for extending life and postponing the onset of death. A knowledge that has to be acquired during the journey to full awareness.
So why transfer the consciousness?
Death is coming; natural transference of consciousness is coming anyway, so why employ these methods? The reason is that we usually die because of illness, and if it’s too advanced it overwhelms us and we can’t cope. So before our disease has progressed to that point, while we’re
still in relatively good condition, we transfer our consciousness at that time. Otherwise it’s like committing suicide. So we should not practice po-wa without a proper understanding of the signs of impending death, but when we’re lucid and still in control, then we use it.
And now for a more scientific approach, introducing Dr Peter Fenwick, a highly regarded neuropsychiatrist who has been studying the human brain, consciousness, and the phenomenon of near death experience (NDE) for quite a long time. He believes that consciousness actually exists
independently and outside of the brain as an inherent property of the universe itself. Hence, in Fenwick’s view, the brain does not create or produce consciousness; rather, it filters it. There are some analogies that bring the concept into sharper focus. For example, the eye
filters and interprets only a very small sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum and the ear registers only a narrow range of sonic frequencies. Similarly according to Fenwick the brain filters and perceives only a tiny part of the cosmos’ intrinsic consciousness. The Divine spark
To be continued. Good night.
Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the
measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.”
The Kybalion.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):
https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
